Act your age. Avoid comparing a younger manager to your adult children or talking about what you were doing at their age. "The last thing the boss wants to hear is 'you remind me of my son,' " says Gravett. Conversely, you don't need to prove yourself hip to 30-somethings. "It is not appropriate to try to act younger than your age, dress younger, or try to disguise yourself as a younger individual in order to fit in," says Cam Marston, president of Generational Insight and author of Motivating the "What's in It for Me?" Workforce: Manage Across the Generational Divide and Increase Profits. "It comes across as silly."
做与年龄相符的事儿 避免将老板与你已成年的孩子作对比，或者夸夸其谈在他这个年龄你正在做什么。格拉维特说：“老板最不想听到的一句话就是‘你让我想起了我的儿子。’” 你不需要非搞得像30岁的样子。卡姆 马斯顿说。“刻意表现得比实际年龄年轻是不好的，比如穿得年轻，或者为了年轻而掩饰自己。”马斯顿著有《如何激励‘我能得到什么’一族: 战胜代沟 提高利润》一书。
